the person who's taking a harder stance is mitch mcconnell. let's listen to what he says from the senate side. >> we don't happen to think the government needs more revenue. the government spends too much as it is. if democrats are willing to reduce spending and strengthen entitlement programs, which we all know are on an unsustainable path that threatens our own long-term viability and the economic well-being of our children and grandchildren, then we'll be there. what we won't do is raise tax rates. >> okay. so read the fine print. raise tax rates. now, there's a difference between raising tax rates and raising revenue, making people pay more by doing things which the republicans have suggested like, you know, capping loopholes or capping deductions, reducing deductions and that type of thing. so there is some type of room. right now, you know, you do have the sides going in a pretty hard position. >> the president's also under some pressure from his left flank. in the debt ceiling negotiations, a lot of people forget he seemed willing to tr

wednesday, the business community and friday, there's a meeting with harry reid, mitch mcconnell, house speaker john boehner and minority leader nancy pelosi. so, will we get a deal? one man getting a lot of attention is erskine bowles. who along with alan simpson created the simpson-bowles plan on deficit reduction. i have to start by asking you, did you ever think your name would be part of pop culture? you are the bowles in simpson bowles. >> better be simpson bowles than bowles simpson since everybody knows him by his initials here in washington. >> so, when you talk about things, sacred cows, untouchables, whatever the word might be, in your proposal, the one paul ryan decided not to back, the one barack obama decided not to back, you had an increase in the federal gasoline tax. caps on mortgage interest. charitable donations and retirement contributions. these were all tough choices you made. you also increased the eligibility age for medicare and social security. reduced benefits for wealthier seniors. some of those things i've heard democrats and republicans say they agree on, o

the president said that -- i guess he was going to walk mitch mcconnell's dog or wash john boehner's car in terms of going to capitol hill during the election, in terms of getting it done. the president, legislative leaders, and the american people, the voters are trying to figure this out. how do we compromise? can compromise be tempered by conscience? should first principles be given up for second chances? where do we go? do we say okay, tax the rich but don't put in political supreme court justices? do we say okay, yeah, we're going to do global warming, but at the same time we're not going to do the deficit the way the president wants to have it done? do people walk away from what they believe in the hope of bringing this country together? i think in the end not. i think what people have to walk away from is pride and ego and i'm referring to those same political leaders that you referred to at the beginning of the segment. if they walk away from their pride, they walk away from their ego and say, i'm going to think about gretchen carlson, and think about people in indiana. i'm g

mitch mcconnell has certainly got john boehner's back. he agrees. he says, quote, one issue i've never been conflicted about is taxes. i wasn't sent to washington to raise anybody's taxes to pay for more wasteful spending. and this election doesn't change my principles. here is something that the president and the folks in the white house have to think about. since they are intent on raising taxes, the congressional budget office says hold the phone. not so fast because if the taxes all get hiked up as they're going to at the end of the year unless there is some sort of a change and they come to an agreement, there would wind up being a recession in this country one year from right now, unemployment would be above 9% and the economy, they say, would contract by about a half a percent when it comes to the gdp. those are two very sobering numbers. in other words, if they can figure a way to do something about the debt problem and also about stuff we were just talking about right there, you know, as we got up to the cliff, we'll have a way down. but yo
